AIBU to think that Trident is no longer relevant to modern warfare & that the £100bn (estimated) cost would be far better spent helping the NHS, the refugee/migrant crisis and many other issues?

I just don't see why we need Trident these days and can't help but think the money would be better spent elsewhere. Surely this type of deterrent belongs to the cold war and isn't really effective when thinking of the threats from ISIS and other such groups?

Much as I hate nuclear anything, you cannot un-invent nuclear weapons. The point is they're a deterrent and without the Uk having any deterrent, and lots of other countries having them, it seems sensible to keep Trident?

The cost is ridiculous and yes, the money could be better spent elsewhere but we give billions of pounds to other causes abroad which perhaps could be reined back and used for our own welfare.

Unless the entire world decommissioned their nuclear weapons, which will never happen, the deterrent idea won't work.

Saying that, The weapons of the future will be way more easily 'usabale' than Trident.....and leave no trace from where they came. So who knows.

Because of the way Govt contracts work we are obliged to replace Trident or spend even more money to compensate for breaking the contract. Getting rid of it is not an option, so the debate is pointless.
